Number One Dungeon Supplier



"When are we getting to go in…" Bu Dong, Angry Ape Cultivator asked as he and the other Pandawans were finally grouped together they had the option of trying out the advanced simulation training or staying in the main lobby while waiting for the Virtual Simulation training to be completed. 

The number 2497/2500 did not change for quite some time indicating that there were three people who had entered the Virtual Simulation Pod and had not finished their simulation. Little did they know that everyone had actually finished it and the System was merely manipulating the numbers to ensure that it had proper instructions from Jin before the actual event started.

"At least we get to be more comfortable in this new 'suit' that we are in." Yue Han, Blind Bat Cultivator, replied as he was admiring his new avatar. The cultivators were able to retain their current body form or at least edit it to their supposed desires but with limited options. The Virtual Simulation Basics stated that they could not change their gender or change how they looked drastically mainly because of how the programme stores the data. 

Yet, that did not mean one could not do a hair or facial makeover and even lose weight to get the supposed effect. However, the feature of changing one's look was not an option available for free as it cost a hundred Simulation Coins which was given to them as a way of saying thank you from the store for taking part in this particular event. 

Simulation Coins were also another sort of credit that had been newly introduced into the wallets of the Pandamonium App and everyone instantly knew that the Virtual Simulation was here to stay but it was a question how much more the store is going to develop it. So far, those long runners of the Dungeon Store had already seen many redux of the previous special credits by combining them to be more accessible by making them and able to use Panda Coins to purchase those credits although the exchange was higher.  (The Panda Stock Market and there were people up to this day who continued to play this to purposely change the value of certain stocks until special intervention by Sub System Accountant Claire came in to intervene.)

So, with the introduction of a new coin, it means that even though this was just a beta testing item, the want to implement this Virtual Simulation fully was real. However, because of how Jin and his store had always blurred the lines of dungeon instances and reality itself, there were some people who were commenting that this was another dungeon instance made real by Jin himself once more. All those Virtual Simulation pods were byproducts of the dimensional making powers and technology that Jin and his gang wielded.

"Sigh, I really cannot stop you if you want to waste such a precious commodity on cosmetics alone." Bu Dong said as he raised his hand partially and showed him to the Pandawan group who had gathered after completing their basic training and decided to stay together in hopes to prevent them from teleporting all so randomly away. "You see! Even our big boss Xiong Da did not change the way he look even though he had more simulation coins than us."

"What makes you think I have more simulation coins than the rest of you?" Xiong Da questioned with a menacing face to Bu Dong which the latter found the sudden change of attitude quite awkward however he did not back down and even rose to face against Xiong Da.

"Heh, we all know that you are the dungeon supplier's number one supporter. How could the number one supporter did not have any more simulation coins than us? I also heard that you were given priority to enter this dimensional instance first prior to the rest of the gang. Maybe you had already even earn simulation coins while the rest were trying their luck to get those little amounts of Panda Coins."  Bu Dong argued and then Xiong Da's face change almost in an instant. 

"Hahahah, calm down man. I know you were easy to anger which befits your cultivation but up till now, you could not differentiate I am joking or not?"

"You do not usually put this kind of attitude up so how would I know whether I had offended you or not?!" Bu Dong replied while trying to hold his anger in and later shrugged it off by breaking out of the conversation the moment he ended his sentence. It was pretty apparent to everyone that he was probably just too tired waiting for the event to start. His eagerness to start the mission had wore him out and there was nothing the rest could do either.

Thankfully the moment he broke away from the conversation, Bin Yong came right into the conversation along with Shi Zuo carrying a bunch of lockerbags with them. "The Beaver and Red Panda NPC at the main lobby counter said that the event is about to start soon and they had begin to distribute the items to us." 

"Quick, they are really heavy." Shi Zuo said as he wanted to give each of the Pandawans who had gathered but subsequently gave up and placed them on the floor, asking them to pick it up themselves. It was then when they opened each of these locker bags, they found equipment that were not of the standard MMORPG styles. 

Most of them were expecting they were to be given a wooden sword or maybe a bow, perhaps an extendable wooden staff for magic users considering the size limitations of those locker bags. However, when they opened it up, they found that there was an imitation of their personal weapons but of the basic tier. For example, Bin Yong the Bombardier Beetle Cultivator had an extendable and also retractable sword and buckler… just that it was also placed alongside with a standard issue Chinese variant SKS semi automatic rifle. 

"Hahah, seriously? I thought we are in some fantasy MMORPG and not one that uses swords and guns." Bu Dong said as he picked up the rifle and had a feel. Now his blood was boiling with excitement rather than boredom.
